Riding the Tiger

Here is a genuinely compelling story of Ole and Hannah Nydahl, who in 1968 became the first Western students of the great Tibetan master Karmapa. After being recognized and trained by some of the greatest Lamas of the Kagyu lineage, Lama Ole now transmits the blessing of the lineage and travels, as authorized Lama, teaching and establishing centers of Tibetan Buddhism, while Hannah is a much sought-after translator.
